50 Oracle Cards and guidebook using the energies of king, heroes, and gods. Uses divination to expand the depth of reading with Chakras and to historic stories. Includes journal space for readers to record their own impressions.

As you will notice, the cards featuring gods or supernatural beings do not list Chakra affinities. Instead, each has a title intended to give you an idea of the intent of the card so that you may incorporate its wisdom into your reading. Like the other cards, these images can be interpreted in different ways depending upon their placement in your layout.

The Tempus Cards allow you to add another layer to your readings: past, present, and future. Place a card next to each of the Tempus cards in order to better understand the temporal depth of your meditation.
The cards are colored and detailed sure to bring you pleasure while doing reading. They come in a sturdy cardboard box that is larger than others. Beautiful designed with the torch in the middle. It will keep your cards safe and last for years. I highly recommend this deck for the seasoned reader.

Created through decades of research into Alchemy and different divination modalities, this deck offers a fresh new perspective on using the cards to unveil what has been hidden. With the black and gold box and the cards it is different from others. This deck will pull you in to the magic journey.

They are meditative, concentrative, and perception-based methods to achieve amplified awareness of reality and access the subconscious. For each representative character and archetype in the deck. Use this meditation process to receive the information relayed in the Archetypes of the cards through language and imagery.

The psychodrama has been used for millennia by human beings as a technique to process the relationship with the world through reenactment. Perhaps the best known psychodramas

were given to us by William Shakespeare, who represented the breadth of human experience through relatable characterizations of comedy, and tragedy. There is much evidence that Shakespeare based his work on alchemical and occult teachings, which operate through an initial polarization of good and evil followed by engaging a process of unifying these two forces into one inseparable whole.

By acting out or representing an occurrence, knowledge and wisdom may be gained. All forms of ritual are only enacting in physical motion with intention. The Tarot is a tool to focus the intention of the ritual motion into a system that mirrors the event.

White Witch Tarot is a mental adventure into psychodrama methodically expressing the subconscious through characterization. When confusion arises, engage the psychodrama to release through reflection. I highly recommend this Tarot deck.

Magical Dimensions Oracle Cards are a very powerful deck of cards that help to unlock one's multidimensionality, and although they are digital art based, they truly emagnate Ascension energies, which is quite rare to experience with most digital decks.

The companion guide contains 44 numbered card images, titles, and description words to assist with your interpretations. Each card will have two different sections, with a Celestial Interpretation and an Oracle Interpretation, so you can understand the card meaning from both perspectives. The cards are intended to strengten your intuition, so if you receive a psychic impression that differs from the card meaning that is written, then by all means, trust your intuition on this.

At the end of each card interpretation, you will also find a few companion crystal/stone and essential oil suggestions that are associated with each particular card. Crystals and essential oils resonate to particular high frequencies, and they are very beneficial in enhancing our spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional growth.

When you choose a particular card, if you hold one of the crystals or stones suggested for that card, the card frequencies will be enhanced by that crystal or stone. Essential oil that is suggested for each card will also work in the same capacity. These attunements will futher support you in making the necessary transformations toward your well-being, goals, and dreams.

The keys of Heaven and Earth is a powerful layout providing insights into the messages Spirit is trying to relay from both Heaven and Earth--also referred to as Father and Mother. This blends both Spirit and the physical worlds together beautifully. So, as you shuffle the deck, you can ask, "What do Heaven and Earth have to share with me this day?"

The art work on each card is stunning with great detail. You are going to really enjoy using the card deck. I love the fact that each card has a crystal and essential oil. These cards draw me into them and are a delightful addition to my Oracle collection.
